AV dsp amp

Hardware Architecture

The standard version of the AV dsp amp has a stereo analogue audio input. This 
analogue signal is converted to digital, processed by the DSP and then 
converted back to analogue. A microcontroller controls the DSP, reads the 
control panel and communicates with the PC and/or another AV dsp amp that may be 
attached.

Digital audio input

The optional digital input board plugs into the main PCB and carries two RCA 
connectors, SPDIF in and SPDIF through. Incoming SPDIF is linked through 
directly to the output and sent to the DSP through an asynchronous sample rate 
converter (ASRC) for jitter removal. The USB part adds a hub and an audio device 
which in turn also transmits audio over the ASRC  to the DSP. The ASRC chip scans 
its input for whichever signal is active. In a stereo setup and in digital mode 
the SPDIF through cable doubles as a master/slave link, obviating the need for 
the mini jack cable. The mini jack cable remains functional though and does not 
have to be removed.

Audio performance data

MBW=20kHz, unless otherwise noted. All filters set to unity. Noise levels 
unweighted.

The master unit is fitted with small control panel which is placed on the front
